Been a busy few days. Had my oldest daughters B-day and work as always. Missed our DDPY for a couple of days. Really regretted that but i was so tired after the days of open and close and then dinner and movies right after for my daughter that i actually just passed out asleep yesterday. I figure a few good days of sleep to re-energize will be acceptable.
I did slip a little on my daughters bday, not alot. We went to Fat Patty's to eat and while all the kids pigged out on giant hamburgers and deep fried chicken fingers, Me and Marlena had Salads.. really good salads too, Probably not the best dressing but hay it wasn't a full cheat if its half good right? Anyway I had Sweet Tea and Marlena had Dr. Pepper to drink, then after that we went and seen a movie and of course had buttery popcorn and i snagged to chocolate covered cookie dough peaces. Now I LOVE raw cookie dough... always have... But i ate two of them and if you think I'm going to say they tasted nasty.. well your wrong, Still sooo good, but i just had two and i didn't want anymore so that's a very good sign.
Now today i woke up sore.... so stiff. Made sure to do wake up before we did anything today. Had an OK breakfast, still needed to do grocery shopping. Stuck to my lunch and for Dinner Marlena got groceries, Yeah she didn't let us starve, and made Egg Plant Lasagna, it was So good.
After dinner we made some fruit smoothies and then did energy. Sense we hadn't done it in a few day i didn't want to jump in full blast and pull something, still worked my butt of and got my heart rate up to 150 for a few but pulled it back a bit to bring it back down to my zone.
All and all a good day and weekend. I'm not upset by the "fall back" because ultimately this is going to be a life change for me and we will adapt it where we need to, so that way we won't Fail at this. Oh, a friend of ours want us to post some recipes up here so starting tonight i will either link or put up some of our "Go To" recipes or stuff we try and really like. First thing is going to be Gluten Free pizza, now we haven't tried it yet but we are going to make it tomorrow so i will update with how good it is.
But until tomorrow be strong and Stay strong!!
I can't find the link so I'm just going to type it out for you all, now this isn't our recipe and if anyone finds it online let me know so i can give credit and a link.
Gluten Free/Flourless Pizza
Crust Ingredients
4oz cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/2tsp pizza seasoning
8oz (2Cups) Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Topping
1/2 cup pizza sauce
4oz (1cup) Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Assorted toppings (Pre cook any toppings slightly to ensure less fat/liquid. to prevent soggy crust)
Directions
1) Preheat oven 375, Grease 9x13 glass baking dish (Metal does not work well, crust will stick) and line with parchment paper.
2) For crust, in medium bowl, whisk cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Whisk in eggs until mixture is well blended and smooth. Add the Parmesan cheese and seasonings. Stir in Mozzarella until Completely moistened. Spread mixture evenly over parchment paper.
3)Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes, until evenly browned, but not to dark. Let cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. When slightly cool, you can cheat and lift the crust using the parchment paper and place all in the freezer for about 300 mins until completely cooled. If you have plenty of time, you can cool the crust on the counter and then leave in the refrigerator for several hours uncovered. The Goal is for the crust to dry out enough that it will be crispy/chewy and you can pick up with you hands.
4) Once cooled, remove parchment paper and place crust back in same pan (which is adequately creased from before you can even wipe out a bit with a paper towel) Spread crust with pizza sauce, then cheese (even if you love cheese, do not add more then 1 cup as the crust is almost entirely made of cheese) Then toppings.
5) Bake 375 for 15-20 mins or until toppings are bubbly and look right. let stand for a few mins before cutting.
Serves 8
